SAP Transaction

An SAP transaction consists of Dialog steps. A Dialog step begins when the user press Enter,activates a function by pressing a function key,double-clicks or chooses a function from a menu.It ends when the next screen is display

In the course of a Dialog step,The PAI modules belonging to the current screen and the PBO modules belonging to the next screen

Flow Logic Process Before Output(PBO)

After it has processed all of the modules in the PBO processing block, the system copies the contents of the fields in the ABAP work area to their corresponding fields in the screen work area.

Process After Input(PAI) Before it processes the first module in the PAI

processing block, the system copies the contents of the fields in the screen work area to their corresponding fields in the ABAP work area.

Field Input Checking If you want to check input values in the

module pool and start dialog in the event of a negative result,you use the FIELD statement with the addition MODULE.

If the module results in an error(E) or warning(W) message,the screen is redisplayed without processing the PBO modules.The message text is displayed and only the field being checked by this module becomes ready for input again

SAP Transaction : Enqueue Lock Object

SAP Transaction & DB Transaction

Each Dialog step can contain update requests(INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE)

After each Dialog step,the R/3 system automatically passes a database commit to the database system.The database system then distributes the update requests from the individual dialog steps across several database transactions

A rollback in one Dialog step has no effect on database updates performed in previous Dialog steps
